Camelia Sinesis: Tea, chai, お茶、紅茶、粗茶, GITT

[DESERT FIGHTER]

Coffee dehydrates you though. Its also highly acidic. I always drink water after coffee. Tea has an almost perfect ph balance, and quenches one's thirst. It's truly a heavenly elixir

Better than any other tea..

The Montreal Tea Shop Tour begins!

I give you, in order of appearance :

Davids Tea at Place Ville Marie
Hestia Tea Shop in the underground mall between the Eaton Center and PVM
Camelia Sinensis Tea House near St-Denis Street.

So far, Camelia Sinensis is the only place where you can relax and enjoy a pot with friends. The only tea loungeto date... hopefully with the recent tea boom, not the last

how goes the tea drinkings, sir??

some days back, i got two twinings boxes... one the usual earl grey and the other a new release perhaps... "fresh and fruity - strawberry and mango"... lovely bits of various fruits and herbs... i boil two bags for my single mug of water... it says not to be made with milk... it has a nice refreshing taste and aroma.

another thing i found is that ty-phoo earl grey is better than twinings earl grey, at least when made with milk... i always use milk and put in ordinary tea ( taj mahal etc ), a teaspoon, and pour-in the earl grey bag.

the "fresh and fruity" has only two bags left.. must replenish.

Nice.... Recently man I've been mostly sticking to an amazing blend of mate and chai called Samurai chai, available at Teavana shops. I also enjoy maharaja chai, which is essentially a cinammon heavy oolong based chai. Very nice for cold winter months. I'd like to get my hands on some matcha though, if only it wasn't 20$ for a tiny little tin

Grenadine is potent stuff. Few drops tops or the balance is ascorbified.

Your best friend after chappal kababs and naan

I don't have the "real" deal here.. Coz the one sold in markets isn't as good as the one from KPK or Balochistan...

Which i why for the past 5 days I'm going to my friend's apartment to drink it ..


But unfortunately the Pashtuns sweeten it too much and on top of that they eat sweet stuff with it..
